There is a lot of “imagining” and “thinking” going on, but very few facts. The reality is that nobody really knows anything!!

‘Was promised to reopen several months ago, guess it’s a Scunny thing.’
Promise or intention? Seem to recall it was the latter. And how would Swanny have any influence (as you said in a previous post) on whether the non-footy side reopened again or not?
Rarely agree with awaywego, but he is correct in saying that whatever Swann says becomes a “promise” when there really is very little that he has promised.

I thought Swanny was the owner when it came to all things Scunthorpe.
Not according to UTI99. It’s the COO/CEO!
I don’t believe he ever said that.

Ah, more words put into people’s mouths.
Not at all. Read his posts (a number of them) and he clearly directs, and names Swann, the questions at our owner.
As for Swann, he can’t win. He speaks & he is a liar, he doesn’t speak & he should do so, and someone speaks on his behalf & they are being conned.
I really hope that he sells up soon, but people making assumptions, making their own interpretation of what has (or hasn’t) been said and calling.on him to respond to a post on this site, is getting tedious.
He will not divulge what is happening re a sale, and neither should he. Let’s just hope it is sooner rather than later.

Swann has ruined the Club, but let’s not make out that it was deliberate.
He wanted to be a big success. He wanted to appear in the Director’s box and have people chant his name. He wanted to be the Messiah.
Unfortunately for us, the supporters, he had no idea how to run a football club.

Swann has re mortgaged or whatever to fund his Blackpool project??? he is obviously skint he is on his uppers the offers he has supposedly had for the club he has declined why would he do this if and its a big if he really wants to sell,hes still to assure the national league that he will fund the club for the coming season he has milked the club never really been interested in what has gone on on the pitch the man is a like a leech sucking every last drop out of OUR club
Swann has been a disaster atbour Club.
However, what you are spouting is a load of rubbish.
Swann would have made a lot more money investing in almost anything else.
His problem is that he has no idea how to run a football club. Sadly, he chose our football club to find this out.
I still firmly believe that Swann had good intentions. The reality is that he did not learn from the mistakes that he was making and now he finds himself deep in the mire with no money (his business has been badly hit by covid), no support (we have all had enough) and nowhere to go.
I hope he finds a buyer soon but, rest assured, he will not let anyone know what is happening until a deal has been completed – neither should he.

Swann took over our Club when Steve Wharton sold it due to ill-health. We had a good boardroom until then with Steve Wharton, Chairman, who attended all matches both home and away, and his
heart was in Scunthorpe United as his father before him at the Old Showground. Rex Garton, Director, and club solicitor too, who came into GP restaurant daily and paid for his lunch, was totally committed and he also attended home and away matches. Brian Borrill, Keith Wagstaff, Jason Oxenforth were all Directors who were committed, loved the football and attended matches. This all changed to the detriment of SUFC when the swanns took over and the then current directors were not wanted on the board. Where we are now, out of the football league, without any sense of direction and with owners who couldn’t care less if we no longer have a Scunthorpe United FC is down to one man and his family ALONE and no other party. SHAME ON YOU THE SWANNS !!!!!!!!We all know that Swann has devastated the Club.
Don’t you get bored posting the same rubbish all the time?
None of us have any idea of the price Swann is asking. It would be stupid of him to make it public.
Let’s see what happens in the fullness of time. Hopefully, sooner rather than later!!

If they do it during the half-time interval it will save them from getting into trouble in the Iron bar……

At 3-0 I patted my now son-in-law on the back and said “you have now seen the Iron win a game”.
It was his seventh, and last, match.
I wonder if he has been sneaking in for the last six seasons?

Whilst Swann is responsible for where we find ourselves, Keith Hill has not improved our team/squad in any shape or form.
You would expect an experienced, and supposedly successful, manager to at least get a higher level of performance out of them than the previous (and unsuccessful) manager did. But no. NOTHING!!!
A full clean out would be best. So Hill needs to go.

WW may, or may not, have known about today’s news.
If he did know something, then why not tell us?
What he posted was pointless. No info, no insight, nothing.

They acted professionally, as they were trained to use them and they did so. Nobody got injured in the process, so job done.
In my day a copper would have given the lad a slap with his truncheon and then beaten him up in the van on the way to the nick.
Times change.

He is 100% correct though.
